			<description><![CDATA[I guess you've never been to the MSP airport there were flight insurance machines there for years. ALSO there were little rooms that you could rent for "quiet time" that had a single bed, wash basin, little office space, even dial up internet (hey it was a few years ago) I used them one time when I was dog tired and had a flight delay. It was 99% soundproof.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Colin. That article presents an interesting variation on the breathalyzer system, as you said. My favorite part: "So far, the machine has been extremely popular as patrons think it's fun to test themselves."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Merritt. Thanks for the info. I believe that truck stops and some other specific venues in the US still have pay-per-use toilets, showers, and other services. But as you said, they're pretty much gone from mainstream society.

			<description><![CDATA[Jeremy, I am old enough to remember pay toilets. All or most gone in US now. May have been a law or something. Didn't cost much but if you didn't have a dime, well, cost wasn't the issue anymore was it? I stayed at a camp ground once that had a pay shower. 10 cents a minute. Lotta smelly folks that weekend.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cattline,
We didn't want the pictures to give away which machines are real and which ones are made up, so we created all the images specifically for this article -- even for the ones that are based on real systems. You can read about the flight insurance kiosks on this page:
http://www.photomann.com/japan/machines/
As you said, that type of kiosk doesn't really exist in Penn Station. I've yet to hear of anyone selling train rider's insurance :)

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Nyte. Thanks for the info -- the bidet-vs-toilet-paper thing makes sense. While we're on the topic of bathroom commerce, I've heard some funny stories about pay-per-use toilets in Europe. Maybe those would be a good fit for a kiosk payment system as well.

			<description><![CDATA[Actually, the toilet paper thing makes more sense then at first glance. It's in Japan...a lot of toilets are equipped with bidets which get you clean without the need for paper...it's just us westerners that need to waste trees to feel comfortable after using the toilet...
That said...I would be shelling out my 100 yen, I'm sure of that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nicole,
That's a good idea: pantyhose come in pretty small packages, so you could fit a lot of them into a self-service kiosk. Maybe the manufacturer could make a special version of the machine for the Japanese market, which would sell used pantyhose at a premium price. Actually, they banned the sale of used undergarments there a while back, despite surprisingly high demand for such things :)
